Occludin is an integral membrane protein localizing at tight junctions with four transmembrane domains. When chicken occludin was overexpressed in insect cells by recombinant baculovirus infection, peculiar multilamellar structures accumulated in the cytoplasm. Partial isolation of these structures indicated that the introduced chicken occludin was highly enriched in these structures. Thin section electron microscopy revealed that each lamella was transformed from intracellular membranous cisternae whose luminal space was completely collapsed, and that in each lamella, outer leaflets of opposing membranes appeared to be fused with no gaps, like tight junctions. Furthermore, in the freeze-fracture replicas of these multilamellar structures, short tight junction-like intramembranous particle strands were occasionally observed, which were specifically labeled by anti-occludin mAb. These observations favor the idea that occludin plays a key role in the formation of tight junctions.
